1989 Topps Rack pack box question

[DaClyde]

Not to be a downer, but are there any "great" cards in 1989 Topps? I opened plenty of it, and once had a factory set that I got at the Sears outlet in Memphis for like $10, but it was so overproduced that basically every card is a common. At least you get the glossy all-star inserts. You couldn't really search the packs, aside from whatever 6 cards you could see on top and bottom. There is a Randy Johnson rookie, but that's like a 25 cent card because there are a billion of them.

You are correct. Nothing at all to get. But a PSA10 Randy Johnson rookie does alright.

These days, I think the main attraction of packs like these are for player collectors who chase packs with their player visible.

I agree with that. Although I honestly do not know. I have never had any desire to have have unopened packs. When I was busting wax everything got ripped open.
